TUSCOLA -- Thousands of jobs could be coming to Douglas County. Officials from Project Cronus spoke to lawmakers Thursday in hopes of bringing a fertilizer production facility to Tuscola.

Company leaders say they could create more than 2,000 construction jobs and hundreds of permanent jobs as well. Before it happens, the company is asking for tax breaks from the state.

A spokesperson for the governor says he has spoken with company officials about potential plans.
